CLASS METHODS
import
This function snags any 'helloworld' key-value pair off the use WWW::Mechanize line and sets the HELLO key to it.
Currently this uses a global variable in the WW::Mechanize::Pluggable namespace to capture the value. This is icky and should be replaced with something more elegant.
init
The init() function exports hello_world into the caller's namespace.
hello_world
Just a demonstration function; replaces the current content with 'hello world'. It should be noted that this is not going to pass most tests for "successfully fetched page" because WWW::Mechanize hasn't processed a valid request-response pair.
